I take my elderly parents out to lunch once a week during the weekdays and a day on the weekend. I say lunch but it’s usually an entire day of activities for them. It’s about creating memories and moments for them. Both mum and dad are open to any cuisine but because of their Singaporean […]

Oh how I love bubbles! To me happiness is bubbles . So when a dear friend of mine asked me for a bubble date I excitedly accepted. My side plan …….was to blow bubbles and sketch (although my friend is a bubble blower not a sketcher) We both agreed Kings Park was the best […]

You’ve probably heard me say this before but I enjoy the fresh ocean air. I find it revitalises me and invigorates my soul. Actually, you know what would really be invigorating? Going for a dip in Winter! Which is what it is right now. But that would be crazy! ….maybe a little too invigorating for […]

My fingers were freezing, why I chose to sketch outdoors whilst I waited for my elderly parents to have their hour massage is baffled me. I did have second thoughts, but I really wanted to take the opportunity to do a standing sketch (every possible place to sit was wet due to the rain we […]

For our monthly Perth Sketchers meet up I decided that Wolf Lane would be the place to visit. There’s so many laneways in Perth that have been “funktified” (is that a word? I don’t know sounds good though). Not a huge laneway but interesting in that there’s little cafes and bars that have been re-established […]

I often get asked “what do you keep in your sketch kit?” You would think I have the same answer each time but because of my fetish for compact travel items and in particular sketch gear it changes, I would say every few months if not few weeks. And oh, my love for pens too, […]

I haven’t been able to climb since injuring my shoulder. I’m very much a novice when it comes to rock climbing but I thought I would give the upcoming boulder competition a go at the strong “encouragement” of the instructors and other parents. So after much procrastination and hesitation I jumped on the bouldering wall […]
